Fics like Unreachable, almost.

He brings the bottle to his lips, wrapping them around the neck. He lets the brown liquid burn its way down his throat. He’s not drunk. Not drunk enough anyway to forget the pain in his ribs or for his lip to stop stinging every time he takes a gulp. The sand is soft and cold on his naked feet. He doesn’t know how long he’s been walking, he doesn’t even know where he is, but he doesn’t really care. He doesn’t care because he has nowhere to go anyway. He stops, suddenly feeling tired. Tired of the weight on his shoulders, tired of hurting, tired of feeling like he’ll never be enough. He turns his gaze to the sea. It takes a while before he notices the girl swimming in the dark water. He can’t see much from where he is but her long hair floating around her dark figure. He wonders for a brief moment what she’s doing here all alone. If he knows her. If she’s as broken as he is, if it’s the reason she’s there all alone in the dark.
